SLLUG meeting: Wed. March 18, 2009: Parrot
This month’s meeting will be presented on Parrot by Stephen Weeks:
Parrot is a virtual machine for dynamic languages and a very nice set of compiler tools. I’ll be walking through the steps of implementing a compiler for Parrot from the ground up, using scheme as an example.
From the Parrot web site:
“Parrot is a virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and execute bytecode for dynamic languages. Parrot currently hosts a variety of language implementations in various stages of completion, including Tcl, Javascript, Ruby, Lua, Scheme, PHP, Python, Perl 6, APL, and a .NET bytecode translator. Parrot is not about parrots, though we are rather fond of them for obvious reasons.”
It seems that a class may have room 101 scheduled this semester so we may meet in 103 which is just across the hall from 101.
Time/Date: ---------- Wednesday, March 18, 2009 7:10pm p.m. Place: ---------- Room 101 or 103 in Lower Warnock Engineering Building
